Synopsis

Discover how Christianity entered Rome and took root in a city ruled by empire and tradition.

This title surveys the earliest years of the Christian church in Rome, focusing on who helped it grow and how it faced a conflicted empire. It traces the blend of Jewish and Gentile believers, the role of Paul and his friends Aquila and Priscilla, and the quiet spread of the gospel through a capital city that would soon test its faith with powerful challenges.

  • Learn how Christians lived in Rome before and during the empire’s early trials.
  • See how Paul’s networks and hospitality among Jews and Gentiles shaped the church.
  • Explore the tension between new belief and old religious customs, and how Apologies helped defend the faith.
  • Understand the rise of internal disputes and how Rome and other centers respond to schisms and persecution.
Ideal for readers of early Christian history, Roman society, and the beginnings of Christian community life in the ancient world.
